FWIW, several of these are part of Peter's continuing work on procedures,
and thus arguably not totally new:

So I'd be inclined to cut these a little slack in hopes of having a more
complete/coherent procedure feature in v11. Still, they are showing up
late in the dev cycle, so they shouldn't get a whole lot of slack.

Definitely too late for this cycle.

This discussion has been ongoing for awhile, and it does have some of the
nature of a bug fix since if we don't do this we'll instead have to deal
with bugs in the places that fail to cope.

Push or RWF all of these, IMO.

I'm okay with leaving these alive for now. Some of 'em perhaps should
fail on merit, but that is a case-by-case issue rather than something
to handle through this discussion.
